Timoji
Timoji (also referred to as Timoja or Timmayya)〔Not to be mistaken for Timoji Nayak, a VOC's broker later, circa 1678, see (R. J. Barendse, The Arabian seas: the Indian Ocean world of the seventeenth century )〕 was a privateer who served the Vijayanagara Empire and the Portuguese Empire during the first decade of the 16th century. He claimed to have been born in Goa and to have escaped the city after its conquest by the Adil Shahi of Bijapur in 1496. After his support in the 1510 Portuguese conquest of Goa, he was for a short time appointed ''aguazil'' of the city.
==Background==
Since the 14th century the Deccan had been divided in two antagonistic entities: on the one side stood the Muslim Bahmani Sultanate, and on the other stood the native Rajas rallied around the Vijayanagara Empire. Continuous wars demanded frequent resupplies of fresh horses, which were imported through sea routes from Persia and Arabia. This trade was subjected to frequent raids by thriving bands of pirates based in the coastal cities of Western India. Timoji acted both as a privateer (by seizing horse traders, that he rendered to the raja of Honavar) and as a pirate who attacked the Kerala merchant fleets that traded pepper with Gujarat. Timoji operated off Anjediva (modern Anjadip) Island, with two thousand mercenaries under his command and at least fourteen ships.
